Can I have some advice on pre e symptoms

Hi. I just wanted to check something before I decide whether to ring triage.

On Thursday I had my midwife appointment and bp was raised from what it usually is but not considered high. It was 130/78. I was was told to look out for symptoms of pre e.

Just this morning I came over a bit light headed and then had this really weird flashing but only in my left eye. It lasted for about 5 minutes but now it's gone. I don't know if it's just because I'm stressed this morning (my lovely children are deciding to test mummys paintence this morning) or if its something i should be worrying about. Just to add I do have GD but tested my sugars and they were normal at 7.2

Have they checked your urine for protein? My bp was raised (been checking it at home) and I had some swelling in my ankles/fingers.
Anyway....popped to the MFAU at the hospital a week last Thursday and I haven’t left since!
Have been diagnosed with Pre-eclampsia and because it is an unpredictable condition they will not let me leave until delivery (I am 35w2 with twins).
